And it started so well - the first 10 episodes was one of the best things I've seen on TV recently made in USA - it was tense and exciting and I love the investigation and the chases and piecing the plot together one clue at a time.
The antagonist was exciting, the characters were a joy to watch doing their job, it was just action and tension non stop.
And then they stopped the villain and ended the case. And then they kept going.
And when they came back, the last 3 episodes feel like they were written by a different person for a different show - a telenovela, not action thriller.
If I could rate just the first 10 episodes, it'd be 10/10. But I have to take account of the last episodes too. And the rating drops.

I don't know what happened - it started out as a perfectly fine thriller series, with characters that seemed exciting and fresh, and that's what it was - for the first three episodes.
But then halfway through something happened - a character that acted perfectly normal started behaving like The Joker with no apparent reason, the female character suddenly discovered feminism and started sounding like a tumblr user, and so, so many unnecessary filler scenes it's like they absolutely had to have 55 minutes episode and not a minute less.
And if I wanted to mention the pathos, I'd be here all day.
This had such an amazing potential, utterly destroyed by pretension.

...stay far away from this show.
I truly thought the premise sounds promising, and everyone loves a good British cop drama, but it started to go off the rails straight in episode 1, not just with the main lead's ridiculous wig-looking hair, but the unbelievable expectation from the audience to believe that a good looking man would ever choose to abandon his beautiful wife and family for someone who looks like that.
It went downhill from there - the plot is nonsensical and explains nothing, the characters are clearly clichés, and I stopped watching in episode 4 where we are asked to believe that a Turkish drug dealer living on your streets is a good and positive thing, and a man trying to stop him is a child molester.
